Default Back to the 2IS :)
Just got back to the IS fam, sold my IS350 for a GS350, recently picked up an IS250 F-Sport for the wife.
One issue I'm having is the passenger side headlight, it's kinda pink when it first came on then shuts off after about 5-10min, anyone had the same issue before? Is it the ballast or bulb?

I think it is likely lamp, but yes, as suggested try switching them before you run out and buy something. Good chance the previous owner replaced just one if they start out different colors.

Oh now I get it. 2IS means 2nd gen IS and 3IS means the 3rd gen IS. I always thought 2IS = IS 250 and 3IS = IS 350 lol
